S01 E12 • “Golden Girl” with Tilly

I remember the feeling of coming first in the athletics carnival. Felt like I was unbeatable, forever. That was the only time I ever came first. Haha — well, in this episode we get to listen to an actual champion! This episode is extremely suitable for the finale I think, because she talks about something that reminds me of a lesson I believe in — “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish”. Tilly is a finisher and her story is a huge encouragement to the Luminary Lions fam. As season 1 wraps up, we are reminded to get in the race of life, despite the outcome! Thank you everyone, love you all and enjoy.

S01 E11 • “Sifu Moose” with Chris

Don’t you just appreciate hearing what people do with what they’ve had to live with? In this episode, I get to have a conversation with a guy I just met (and soon became friends) who is thriving despite his earlier experiences. This is one of those stories where they used their “set backs as a set up” for what their life is filled with now.  Also I love that I got to do this episode with someone outside my circle. (As in, a complete stranger!) It’s something I’ve been wanting to do and a step in the right direction for this platform of Luminary Lions. I’m so thrilled that it finally happened!

S01 E10 • “Long Nights & Longer Showers” with Keith

This episode with my friend Keith is quite eye-opening as to how different life experience really can be for others. When it seems like everyone has a similar story to you, stories like his is quite sobering. I truly wish that no one experiences what Keith has had to go through but that’s humanity — it can just be dark, ugly and horrific and it has no favourites. Unfortunate things can happen to any of us. As you listen, I sincerely hope that our hearts are open and our hands are quick to pluck out the gold in all that Keith shares. There’s a lot in this one. I’m so thankful for Keith and stories like this and I know you’ll feel the same. Happy listening!

S01 E09 • “Life After Loss” Feat. Alyssa & Bojie

Losing a loved one is so interesting because it is the most jarring idea that we’re not here forever. We all have an expiry date. We all have to take a swing and “kick the bucket”. Someone once said that death is what makes life precious. It’s the thing that adds value to living, that gives our time on this lonely planet some meaning, as we continue to travel around the sun. While it sounds like some heavy stuff, this episode ends in warm sunshine. It’s such a great listen as my two guests showcase a beautiful scar from a time of tragedy. Tuck in, it’s a sweet one.

S01 E08 • “Pyramids & Pain” with El

I understand that people handle this differently, which is probably why I am always curious as to how they move forward despite their challenges.  With this episode, I feel as though we are led to wonder about the things that have happened in our lives that have shaped who we are today. I dare say it would even lead us to think about how we would handle a break down of an intensely close relationship. Well, thankfully, my friend El has graciously decided to share her story with the Luminary Lions fam. You’ll find that she’s an enjoyable listen and she really takes you into a journey into the complexities of human relationships. I know you’ll love this one. Enjoy!
